Something borrowed, nothing Jew
6th June 2010
Judge Mohammed al-Husseini, sitting on the Supreme Administrative Court, said the interior ministry must ask the cabinet to take the necessary steps to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women, and their children, of their citizenship.
In 2005, former Grand Mufti Nasr Farid Wasel issued a religious edict, or fatwa, saying Muslim Egyptians may not marry Israeli nationals, “whether Arab, Muslim, or Christian.” The possibility of a Jewish spouse was not mentioned.
A useful reminder that Muslim nations still live three or four hundred years behind the rest of us.
